Hello my friends. Here is the Preview of the Serie A Week 21 – Twenty-first Round on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 January 2016.
This is an exciting round with chances for redemption. For example, Napoli who are the leaders of the Serie A were eliminated in the Coppa Italia by Inter, the former leader. It’s time for Napoli to redeem themselves and keep the leadership by defeating Sampdoria in the away game at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.
Juventus might become the sole leader of the Serie A in case of Napoli losing the match with Sampdoria and Juventus defeating AS Roma. It will be a total roller coaster !!
A wake up this week is for Hellas Verona who are the only team not winning a single game this season. Hellas are in the rock bottom position. Hellas having only 9 points will face Genoa who are in the 16th position with 22 points.
Inter vs Carpi, a special match for coach Roberto Mancini marking his 200th game in Serie A as Inter coach.
The top scorer up to Round 20: Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain with 20 goals
